Santa Clara University

Facilitator: Linda Garber, English; Director, Women’s and Gender Studies Program

This Pathway allows students to explore cultural representations and social constructions of the gendered human body and sexuality. Because gender and sexuality are constructed through other categories such as ethnicity, age, and physically ability, courses will include a significant diversity component. And because the categories of gender and sexuality have occasioned both privilege and oppression, social justice will be emphasized as a theme across the Pathway.
